God’s Path vs Your Path

 God’s path and your path are almost never the same.  It is tough to stay on God’s if our whole existence comes from this world.  If our identity is of this world and not one as a child of God and we try to fake the walk on God’s path, nothing good can come of this.  Walking the world’s path?  Many do and many are successful in the things of this world, but for what?  The further we walk the path of the world, the harder it is to come back from it.  To walk this path is to turn away from God.  Not recommended.  If we try to walk both paths at the same time, well we don’t get very far on either because switching back and forth between paths that lead different directions is futile.  So, what do we do?  What is required?  Faith.  Faith that he will watch your back on his path.  Sometimes this is very difficult when you are rooted in this world, I think it becomes a very easy once you’ve been uprooted.  St. Paul is a good example.  I wouldn’t know, I’ve been trying to climb the barbwire fence that keeps us on the path of the world for a long time.
